Mercy


"Yo, Miguel, calm down, man. Save some for the tournament." Miguel ignored Hawk as he continued to punch the air.

Aisha tapped Hawk's elbow. "Hey, don't even bother. He's been super aggro ever since the breakup."

"Where's Sensei? The tournament's gonna start soon." Hawk looked around, looking for him.

"He'll be here."

Bert looked uneasy as he shuffled on his feat. "I don't know about that."

"What are you talking about?"

"I saw him last night at the mini-mall. I was buying a carton of milk... when i heard him in the parking lot, yelling."

"You wanna be his father? Fine! Now who's pissed?"

"Uh, Sensei? Everything all right?"

"We're all gonna die, kid. We're all gonna die!"

"Why didn't you tell us this earlier?"

"I don't know." Bert just shrugged.

"I thought you were meant to be smart!" Lucky rolled her eyes.

"I guess I'm just so used to seeing him drunk, it didn't seem like that big a deal."

"Well, we're here, and he's not. So it's officially a big deal."

Lucky crossed her arms. "Hawk calm down, he'll be here."

"Well what if something happened to him?"

"Like what?"

"I dont know. Like he drove his car off a cliff, or bought a gun and blew his brains out."

"No. Sensei would never kill himself. That's too pussy a move." Aisha shook her head.

"Whatever. I mean, we're here. We're gonna have to do it without him."

"Do what without me?" Johnny walked up to them from behind.

"Sensei! We didn't think you were gonna show up."

Lucky raised her hand slightly. "Uhm, I did." Johnny looked at Lucky and nodded toward her.

"I may not always win, but I never back down from a fight."

Miguel walked back over to them. "All right. Let's sign up."

"Not yet. There's one more lesson I have to teach you."

"You've all learned to strike first, to be aggressive, not be losers. I taught you to strike hard, put every ounce of your power behind everything you do. But I haven't taught you the third rule of Cobra Kai. 'No mercy'. The older you get, the more you're gonna learn that life isn't fair. You wake up one moring feelimg great and then life throws a spinning heal kick to your balls,"

Lucky and Aisha looked at eachother, being the only girls in the group.

"takes a big steaming shit in your mouth." Lucky moved a hand up to her mouth, trying not to laugh.
